That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Directory         1.    Edouard Machery, Request for Participation for Innateness Study Message 1: Request for Participation for Innateness Study Date: 09-Sep-2010 From: Edouard Machery <macherypitt.edu> Subject: Request for Participation for Innateness Study E-mail this message to a friend Dear colleagues, Paul Griffiths (Sydney), Joshua Knobe (Yale), Stefan Linquist (Guelph), Edouard Machery (Pittsburgh), Richard Samuels (OSU), and Karola Stotz (Sydney) are collecting data about scientists' use of the notion of innateness in several disciplines. We are particularly interested in how linguists use this notion. We would like to invite you to take part to a short web study (at most 10 minutes). You will be asked to read a few vignettes and to judge whether some traits are innate. You will also be asked to fill out a brief demographic questionnaire. This survey is entirely anonymous, and the study has be approved by Guelph IRB, OSU IRB, Pittsburgh IRB, Sydney IRB, and Yale IRB. To participate to this study, follow the following link: http://yale.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5yTK6uiKUc9HPy4 We would also appreciate if you could forward this e-mail to your colleagues and graduate students! Many thanks for your help!!
